Elizabeth Strout con Marco Balzano e Susanna Basso . Una meravigliosa scrittrice Premio Pulitzer al salone del libro di Torino. #salonedellibrotorino #elizabethstrout #booklover #leggere #libri #books
Sono appena arrivata al @salonelibro di Torino e già ho incontrato la mia scrittrice del cuore ❤️❤️❤️ #elizabethstrout
La scrittrice statunitense è stata scelta per tenere la lezione inaugurale del Salone del Libro. Alla kermesse torinese presenta il suo ultimo romanzo "Lucy davanti al mare", edito da Einaudi. Dall'esordio del 1998 con "Amy e Isabelle" al ciclo di Lucy Barton, la produzione di Strout racconta l'America della provincia e allo stesso tempo si immerge nella grande metropoli. I personaggi non sono prigionieri dei loro cicli e dei singoli romanzi, ma sconfinano anche in quelli che potremmo definire "piccoli spin-off".

Olive Kitteridge çok sevdiğim kitap karakterlerinden oldu. Çevresindeki insanlar genelde huysuz ve zor deseler de, bazıları için iyi, çokça dürüst, hiç düşünmeden ağzından dökülen sözlerle patavatsız,inatçı, disiplinli, ihtiyacı olanlara gösterdiği dostlukla, çaktırmadan verdiği sevgiyle ve empati yeteneğiyle kendime çok yakın bulduğum bir karakter oldu Olive. Elizabeth Strout, iyi ki bu nevi şahsına münhasır kadınla 'Olive, Yeniden' ile tekrar buluşturdu okuyucuyu. İlk kitaptan bağımsız okunulabilir ancak bence arka arkaya okumak en güzeli. Bu kitapta da yine birbirinden bağımsız görünen kişilerin hikayeleri var. Fakat Olive'le bir şekilde yolları kesişmiş, birbirlerinin hayatlarına dokunmuşlar. Alt metinde ırkçılık, sınıf farkı, eşc*nsellik, tac*iz gibi konulara inceden inceye dokundurmuş yazar. Ebeveynlik, dostluk, aile, sevgi, ölüm, yaşlılık, yalnızlık, korkular, hastalık gibi hayata dair ne varsa işlenmiş çok zengin bir hikaye. Olive ile tanışmanızı isterim. Çok keyif alarak okudum. Çok sevdim. @ithakiyayinlari #olivekitteridge #oliveyeniden #elizabethstrout #reklam değil #tavsiye #kitapönerisi #kitaplar #ithakiyayınları

Oggi, però, vi parlo di una delle mie letture di marzo, "Mi chiamo Lucy Barton", romanzo col quale ho fatto la conoscenza della scrittura di Elizabeth Strout.

🍁 Όλιβ Κίττριτζ (έντυπο) - Elizabeth Strout Εκδόσεις: @agrapubs Σελίδες: 364 Μετάφραση: Μαργαρίτα Ζαχαριάδου Fun Fact στα σχόλια Η ιστορία τοποθετείται στο Κρόσμπυ, μια μικρή παραθαλάσσια πόλη του Μέην. Ένα σπονδυλωτό μυθιστόρημα που αποτελείται από 13 σχεδόν αυτοτελείς ιστορίες με κοινό παρονομαστή την ηρωίδα που έδωσε τον τίτλο στο βιβλίο· την Όλιβ Κίττριτζ - μια 45χρονη καθηγήτρια μαθηματικών στο σχολείο της περιοχής, σύζυγο του φαρμακοποιού Χένρυ και μητέρα του Κρίστοφερ - που άλλοτε πρωταγωνιστεί σε αυτές, άλλοτε κάνει ένα «πέρασμα» ή απλώς γίνεται αναφορά στο πρόσωπό της. Οι ιστορίες είναι γραμμικές στον χρόνο, παρατηρούμε την εξέλιξη των χαρακτήρων για ~30 χρόνια. Η γραφή είναι απλή και πυκνή γεμάτη ρεαλισμό, η αφήγηση γ’πρόσωπη, η οπτική αλλάζει ανάλογα με τον χαρακτήρα που περιγράφεται κι έτσι παρατηρούμε πώς τα ίδια πρόσωπα φαίνονται στα μάτια των άλλων και πώς αντιλαμβάνονται τα ίδια τον εαυτό τους. Η Στράουτ μιλάει για το καθημερινό, κάνοντάς το σπουδαίο. Οι χαρακτήρες της είναι όλοι απλοί, κάνουν λάθη επειδή είναι… άνθρωποι: παντρεύονται το λάθος άτομο, δημιουργούν εξωγαμιαίες σχέσεις, δεν εκφράζουν τα συναισθήματά τους, απογοητεύουν όσους αγαπούν, σπάνια ζητούν συγγνώμη. Αρκετές από τις ιστορίες είναι επώδυνες, μιλούν για όσα οι άνθρωποι κρύβουν, για όσα κρατούν θαμμένα στις ψυχές τους, τα μικρά ή τα μεγάλα, ενώ το θέμα της απώλειας κυριαρχεί. Η Όλιβ Κίττριτζ προκαλεί ανάμεικτα συναισθήματα· δεν την αγαπάς με την πρώτη ματιά, εντούτοις έχει κάτι το ελκυστικό. Μια γυναίκα με έντονη προσωπικότητα, ειλικρινής με έναν σχεδόν ωμό τρόπο, δυσπροσάρμοστη στις αλλαγές, ευέξαπτη, επικριτική, με ευθύτητα που ενίοτε την βάζει σε μπελάδες. Δεν μπορεί να προσποιηθεί, δεν καταδέχεται τα κοινωνικά ψέματα και τους κοινωνικούς συμβιβασμούς για να διατηρήσει την ηρεμία, σπάει όλες τις συμβάσεις και τα κλισέ. Έχει βιώσει αρκετές τραγωδίες στη ζωή της, πορεύεται όμως χωρίς μοιρολατρία, αναγνωρίζοντας το σκοτάδι που υπάρχει μέσα της. Μπορείς να γελάσεις ή να κλάψεις μαζί της, ίσως ακόμα και να ταυτιστείς, αλλά σίγουρα δεν γίνεται να την ξεχάσεις. #ψαξετοβιβλίο «Δεν της άρεσε να είναι μόνη. Αλλά της άρεσε ακόμα λιγότερο να είναι με κόσμο.» ⭐ 4/5 🖤
🛋️🌎 #salottovagamondo ad aprile ci ha portati qui: 📍🇺🇸 Stati Uniti ! Da amante dei mattoni e di scritture dense e ricche di dettagli, purtroppo non ho amato particolarmente questo titolo di Elizabeth Strout che descrive invece in modo molto sintetico, diretto ed essenziale la sua storia ed il rapporto ritrovato con la madre che non vede da anni. L'autrice riporta aneddoti e ricordi del passato, di un'infanzia difficile, ma anche eventi di un passato più recente come ad esempio il divorzio dal marito. Il romanzo si snoda tra piani temporali differenti, ma la mia percezione purtroppo è stata spesso quella di un elenco di fatti citati, ma non approfonditi. Le tematiche affrontate sono molteplici, ma spesso sono solo accennate ed è proprio questo aspetto che non mi ha reso possibile empatizzare con i protagonisti ed entrare a pieno nella storia e che quindi non mi ha fatta apprezzare più di tanto questo libro. A molti altri partecipanti è invece piaciuto, hanno amato la profondità che l'autrice è riuscita a trasmettere con una scrittura molto lineare e asciutta. Voi lo avete letto? Conoscete l'autrice? Vi aspetto nei commenti 🫶🏻 (Nel prossimo mese discuteremo l'ultimo libro della stagione, andremo in... STAY TUNED) . . . #bookclub #lettureinsalotto #letteraturaamericana #elizabethstrout #michiamolucybarton #readingtime #readers #einaudi #einaudiedizioni
Inizia il @salonelibro con la magnifica Elizabeth Strout e la sua lezione inaugurale #elizabethstrout @einaudieditore #salto2024 #salonedellibro #salonedellibrotorino
Ik heet Lucy Barton van Elizabeth Strout Poeh wat een intens boek. Zoveel energie onder de oppervlakte, in dat wat er niet staat, tegelijk geheimzinnig, maar ook glashelder. Tegelijk lichtvoetig maar ook heel zwaar. ‘Ik kan het idee niet van me afzetten dat ze ergens omheen loopt.’ We lezen over Lucy (schrijver en hoofdpersoon in één), die in het ziekenhuis ligt en haar moeder die ineens op bezoek komt, na jaren zonder contact. Ze praten met elkaar, maar dat wat gezegd moet worden lukt niet; het blijft bij verhalen over anderen van vroeger. Via die verhalen wordt er toch met elkaar gepraat over de nare jeugd die Lucy heeft gehad. Wat er gezegd wordt lijkt wel elektrisch geladen. Van mij had er wel een glimp meer verteld mogen worden. Verder een steengoed boek. Citaat: ik heb het al eens eerder gezegd: ik vind het interessant welke manieren we vinden om ons beter te voelen dan een ander of dan een andere groep. Het gebeurt overal, de hele tijd. Hoe je het ook noemt , het is volgens mij het verachtelijkste deel van wie we zijn, die behoefte iemand te vinden die we kunnen kleineren. Citaat: er wordt voortdurend geoordeeld in deze wereld; hoe kunnen we ervoor zorgen dat we ons niet de mindere voelen van een ander?
Tell me Everything by Elizabeth Strout I could literally read Elizabeth Strout all day. Her books are so wonderful they epitomise what reading pleasure means to me. The only problem is that you end up reading one of her books too quickly. Every book of hers is so rich and vibrant with characters and place you just become completely lost in the world Elizabeth Strout creates. And with each new book that world widens and expands whilst simultaneously bringing more and more of her books and characters together.. I started reading Elizabeth Strout with Olive Kitteridge and have devoured every Lucy Barton book. Lucy Barton’s books started as standalone stories but she has slowly been drawn into the same world of Olive Kitteridge and the small town of Crosby in Maine. Bob Burgess, who has been a part of both Olive and Lucy’s stories over the years is now the central character after being the one of the central figures in The Burgess Boys (which for some reason I haven’t read yet!). Bob’s story picks up where Lucy’s last story dropped us off. But the other amazing thing about Elizabeth Strout’s novels is you can jump into the world at any time, at any place which makes her books perfect for old and new fans. There is a great plot to this novel but I’m not going to write a synopsis because the heart of this novel is Bob Burgess; his friendship with Lucy Barton, his relationship with his family and his part in the community. Most of which Bob is completely unaware of. This is a novel about Life, Love and friendship and all the things that go on inbetween; both beautiful and tragic. There are so many scenes in this book that are just absolutely storytelling perfection. I desperately need to fill in the gaps of my Elizabeth Strout reading because I need to read every word she has written.If you haven’t read Elizabeth Strout I implore you to pick up any one of her books and I almost guarantee you will be in love with her writing too. She is just amazing. Tell me Everything is another exquisite novel from a writer who just gets better and better with every book, which just blows my mind. #elizabethstrout #tellmeeverything #lucybarton #olivekitteridge
Book Review #6: Olive Kitteridge (270 pages) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 😭🫢🥲😢 📚Beautiful book. I laughed, I cried, I reevaluated my life 📚Gave me a new appreciation for life and love, for having someone to love and love you 📚I felt like the characters were real people 📚Takeaways: Everyone is complicated and flawed, everyone is just trying to survive life in their own way, loneliness comes in many forms . . . #bookstagram #bookreview #olivekitteridge #elizabethstrout
Such a good book😍 //Denne liker jeg skikkelig godt. Forfriskende med noe annet enn krim☺️ #mynameislucybarton #jegheterlucybarton #elizabethstrout #readmorebooks #fortheloveofbooks #lovetoread #leseglede #leselyst #lesehest #bedremedbok
«Me llamo Lucy Barton» Strout, Elizabeth. Me ha sorprendido gratamente esta novela. Partiendo de un motivo de amor/desamor materno-filial (que a mí me ha recordado al rollo de #Apegosferoces, #Elclubdelosmentirosos, #Nadaseoponealanoche -ahí es nada-, y aún creo haber leído alguna otra más sobre este tema de madres ausentes y extravagantes), Strout aprovecha para contarnos muchas cosas en pocas páginas, con una aparente ligereza que contrasta con lo que sabemos o deducimos de los hechos que relata. Lucy ha tenido complicaciones y le espera una época de ingreso hospitalario. Su madre, a la que no ve hace un montón de tiempo, se presenta para acompañarla durante cinco jornadas con sus noches (que la mujer vive con una abnegación desconcertante) durante las cuales se leerán la cartilla mutuamente a base de alusiones y elusiones, de conversaciones y silencios. Parece que evitan tocar los temas dolorosos de manera directa y se pierden en anécdotas llenas, en realidad, de significado. De este modo iremos conociendo (aunque siempre bajo un velo) las circunstancias de la protagonista, sobre su pasado y su futuro (padres, hijos, maridos, trabajos… y también el contexto social, el sida, las Torres Gemelas…) desde un presente convaleciente que acaba siendo como un paréntesis, un necesario reset en su vida. Me ha gustado mucho como está escrito, con una prosa limpia, sencilla, fresca, saltarina, delicada, intimista, espontánea… un aire de inocencia y de candor, no desprovisto de cierta malicia, que ha despertado mi empatía.

„Lucy by the Sea” (auf Deutsch „Am Meer”) ist der fünfte Roman rund um die Hauptfigur Lucy Barton von der formidablen Autorin Elizabeth Strout. Die Geschichte spielt in Zeit des Corona-Lockdowns und handelt auch teilweise davon. Wie geht’s den Menschen dabei? Wie gehen sie damit um? Aber gleichzeitig denkt Lucy über vieles andere nach und versteht dabei allerlei. Über das Älterwerden, über Familie – loslassen und wiederfinden, über unsere Beziehung zu denen, die wir die Anderen nennen, die anders denken, so denken, dass wir es gar nicht mögen, obwohl wir die Menschen mögen. Ein Phänomen, dass uns heute auf Schritt und Tritt anspringt, nicht nur in den USA. Leute, die sich für ihre Mitmenschen sozial engagieren, aber trotzdem Trump wählen – wie geht das? (Wie) kann man die verstehen? – In ihrer nahen, einfachen Sprache schickt uns Elizabeth Strout durch ihre beiden Hauptfiguren dieser Geschichte einen kleinen, hellen Gedanken … Herzlichster #LESEBEFEHL allerseits!

"Ho pensato ai tradimenti di William, e vi dirò una cosa di quando li avevo scoperti: Mi ero sentita umiliata. Terribilmente umiliata. Mi aveva messa in ginocchio. Ed ero umiliata perché non avevo mai pensato che una cosa simile potesse succedere nella mia vita. Ero convinta che cose del genere capitassero alle altre. Mi ricordo di essere andata a una festa in quel periodo, e di aver sentito due donne parlare di un'altra il cui marito aveva avuto una storia. E quel che ricordo - letteralmente con strazio - è che tutte e due dicevano, Oh , andiamo, ma come ha fatto a non accorgersene? E poi è successo a me . Ed essermi resa conto di aver vissuto un'esistenza parallela, un'esistenza non sincera, mi ha devastata" #elizabethstrout #bookstagram #book #biblioteca #newyork #lockdown #maine #lucy

Il Premio Pulitzer (2009) #ElizabethStrout ospite a Palazzo Ducale!📚 Lunedì 13 maggio, la scrittrice statunitense presenterà il suo libro “Lucy davanti al mare” edito da @einaudieditore. Lucy Barton, la memorabile protagonista nata dalla penna di Elizabeth Strout, è al centro in un romanzo vitale sul nostro tempo: è l’inizio del 2020 e a New York giunge notizia di un nuovo virus potenzialmente letale, bisogna aggiungere luoghi più protetti. Un inedito senso di solitudine e isolamento, la nostalgia, la preoccupazione per i cari distanti, l’amarezza di certi allontanamenti, la rabbia e la noia, la grande paura, individuale e collettiva. Ma anche gli istanti di consolazione: una natura anch’essa ripetitiva, come le onde del mare che Lucy contempla. 📌In dialogo con l’autrice Ester Armanino 📌Appuntamento alle ore 18, nella Sala del Maggior Consiglio ✅Ingresso libero fino a esaurimento posti #PalazzoDucaleGenova #LucyDavantialMare #PremioPulitzer #Pulitzer
Recent bookmail & tbr ✨ Thank you to the tagged publishers for these books!! Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout (08/13): By one of my favourite authors, where characters from her previous books all collide. I’m waiting to read this one - I’ll be cherishing it. We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer (06/18): Imagine you buy a new house, are flipping it, and a previous owner knocks on the door wanting to show his family where he grew up. Granite Harbour by Peter Nichols (out now!): a small town in coastal Maine is shaken to its core by a serial killer. I’m really in a thriller and mystery mood right now so I’ll be getting to this one soon!
📚I’ve doubled down on Elizabeth Strout, and just inhaled the second in her Lucy Barton series, ‘Anything is Possible’ (2017). Strout has a remarkable talent for capturing the small private moments and thoughts of her small town characters in a way that makes you feel you shouldn’t be witnessing them - moments of anguish, humiliation, suffering, naivety, voyeurism. The discomfort felt by being privy to these moments is, like driving past a fresh car crash, riveting. In this novel, Strout avoids an overarching plot, instead dedicating each chapter to a different character, filling in the gaps about the lives of the people that were mentioned during the hometown gossip shared between Lucy and her mother in the first novel in the series, ’My Name is Lucy Barton’. While seemingly disconnected, each vignette has some thread that ties it to another, reflecting the inevitable interconnectedness between people in a small country town. I found myself feeling the suspense in anticipating which character would grace the next chapter - but more so, what dirty little secret would be unveiled. And the secrets kept mercilessly coming: A father’s secret gay life; a couple who spied on their guests; a daughter who walked in on her mother being spanked by the Spanish teacher; a husband who steals from his wife to pay off his prostitute. In fact, the only thing you can be sure of is that each vignette would reveal some kind of pain, fault, sadness or problem. It sounds grim. And it is. But it’s also told in superb prose. It’s a marvel that such unsentimentally economical use of words can convey so much depth, often injecting shards of light into the dark. Since this one, Strout has written two more in her Lucy Barton series, ‘Oh William!’ and ‘Lucy by the Sea.’ I’ve added them to my pile. #anythingispossible #elizabethstrout #lucybarton #ilovereading #bookstagram #welltold_au
Book Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love these books. The prose is startlingly crisp and clear, luminescent in the spaces between words. There’s a profound humanity in the characters as they navigate the often bewildering twists and turns of life, reaching for one another, failing, and sometimes, brilliantly, connecting, as they seek meaning in the every day, and reveal our world, brand new. #elizabethstrout #literaryfiction #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookworm #booklover #book #bookaddict #booknerd #booklovers #booklove #bookreview #bookrecommendations #bookcommunity #bibliophile #bookish #bookinstagram #read #reading #readwithus #reader #readersofinstagram #currentlyreading #literature
'Ay, William' es el tercer y penúltimo libro de la “Saga Amgash”. Me ha sido imposible decidir tan solo una frase de este libro para esta reseña donde los sentimientos y pensamientos de Lucy te hacen reflexionar, incluso ponerte en su piel, ¿cómo puedes sentir tanta ternura y empatía hacia un personaje literario? La respuesta está en la magia de Elizabeth Strout, por su capacidad humana y su estilo narrativo fluido y envolvente. Es una lectura totalmente conmovedora y profundamente humana. Mientras leía pensaba, “¡Ay, mi pobre Lucy!” «La pena es..., ¡ay!, es una cosa muy solitaria; creo que en eso reside el terror que inspira. Es como resbalar por la fachada de un edificio de cristal muy alto cuando nadie te ve.» «Siempre he pensado que si hubiera un tablón de corcho grande, y en ese tablón una chincheta por cada persona que ha vivido en este mundo, para mí no habría chincheta. Lo que quiero decir es que me siento invisible. Y lo digo en su sentido más profundo. Es muy difícil de explicar.» «Un tallo de tulipán se partió dentro de mí. Esa sensación tuve. Sigue partido: nunca volvió a crecer.» Esta vez la autora se centra en el personaje principal, en los altibajos de la existencia de Lucy Barton, que se vuelve más compleja, confusa, vulnerable, invisible para ella misma, llena de preguntas y un discurso interno continuo sobre sus sentimientos y pensamientos. Uno de los aspectos más destacados de 'Ay, William' es la exploración de temas universales como el amor, la pérdida y duelo -de su marido-, la familia y la redención -hacia su madre, hacia su exmarido, incluso de una subtrama que protagoniza su exmarido hacia su propia madre y su hermanastra e incluye a Lucy en ese viaje-. Lucy nos muestra cómo nuestras experiencias pasadas moldean nuestras vidas, como ya he comentado anteriormente, pero también cómo la comprensión puede conducirnos hacia la sanación, a la vez que la autora nos sumerge en las complejidades de las relaciones familiares y en las luchas internas de sus personajes de una manera tan auténtica. @alfaguaraes #AyWilliam #Amgash #ElizabethStrout
Elizabet Strout pikkukaupungin tyttö- Amy ja Isabella Leppoista kesäluettavaa painavilla teemoilla. Kirja kertoo Isabellaan ja hänen tyttärestään Amysta. Isabella tekee työtä pikkukylän tehtaassa johtajan sihteerinä, jossa naisten välinen juoruilu kukoistaa. Amy on 16- vuotias teini, joka haaveilee ihastuksestaan matikanopettajaansa. Mitä asioita äiti ja tytär voivat jakaa ja mitä he pitävät toisiltaan salassa. Tämän kirjan loppuessa fiilikset oli hyvin ristiriitaiset. Jäin ikävöimään päähenkilöitä, heidän ajatuksiaan ja tapojaan toimia. Niin ihanan arkisesti kuvailtu pikkukaupungin äiti-tytär suhde toi mieleen Gilmoren tyttöjen leppoisuuden. Vaikka kirjan tapahtumat olivat dramaattisia ja jopa kauhistuttavia keskeneräisyydellään, niin lukeminen oli helppoa ja nopeaa. Minuta on mennyt Stroutin tuotanto kokonaan ohi. Tunnistan kannet, mutta en ole tarttunut niihin. Nyt täytyy tämä vääryys korjata ja aloittaa seuraava. Mitä suosittelet hänen kirjoistaan? Tämä on mahtava kesäkirja! Suosittelen. #kirjagram #bookstagram #lukeminen #reading #bookstagrammers #kirjagramsuomi #kirjainsta #keltainenkirjasto #elizabethstrout #pikkukaupungintytöt #amyandisabelle #kesäkirja #lukusuositus #helmetlukuhaaste2024

Zmiany w życiu zawodowym i… Bronek na pokładzie ;) troszkę zweryfikowały mój czas przeznaczony na czytanie. I nie znaczy to, że czytam mniej, ale mam mniej czasu na dzielenie się swoimi opiniami po lekturze. Dlatego dziś krótko (na kolejnych kafelkach) o trzech książkach przeczytanych lub wysłuchanych w ostatnich tygodniach. Lucy i morze, Elizabeth Strout Uwielbiam styl #elizabethstrout! Pomimo tego, że historia osadzona jest w bardzo konkretnej przestrzeni czasowej (pandemia COVID), Strout udało się stworzyć ponadczasową opowieść o nas samych – relacjach rodzinnych, małżeństwie, trudnym rodzicielstwie, miłości, przyjaźni, wyborach, których każdy z nas musi dokonywać i związanych z nimi konsekwencjami. Śnieg jeszcze czysty – Anna Musiałowicz Bardzo smutna w tematyce, ale napisana pięknym językiem powieść. Wrażliwie o ludzkiej niewrażliwości. Przejmujący los wiejskiej rodziny w latach 60-ych. O ludziach, którzy absolutnie nie potrafili radzić sobie z emocjami. Żadnymi – ani tymi dobrymi, a tym bardziej trudnymi. Ostatnie stadium – Nina Lykke Słodko-gorzka. Wewnętrzne przemyślenia Elin, która w codziennej praktyce lekarki rodzinnej, boryka się z roszczeniowymi pacjentami, a jednocześnie sama usiłuje poukładać osobiste sprawy małżeńskie. Przez przypadek wplątała się w romans i teraz usiłuje dociec, czy chce ratować małżeństwo, czy iść drogą zmiany… #lucyimorze #elizabethstrout #wielkalitera #lucybarton #śniegjeszczeczysty #annamusiałowicz #wydawnictwostaraszkoła @wydawnictwostaraszkola #polskaautorka #ostatniestadium #ninalykke #wydawnictwopauza #literaturaskandynawska #bookstagrampl #polskibookstagram #czytam #czytambolubie #bookstagrampolska #polecamksiążkę #recenzjaksiazki #legimi #czytamzlegimi #pocketbook #audiobooki #bookowyzagajnik
Another one I finished a few weeks ago... bought this from the wonderful Gould's books in Newtown before an appointment when I'd forgotten to pack a book... WELL, what a writer Elizabeth Strout is. In case you've not read her... I just find her books warm and wise and Oh William! was so comforting. This book made me feel held, somehow (weird, I know. I feel cringe even writing that). BUT LET ME TELL YOU she is also a narrative genius, generating narrative desire through delay and digression. We open with 'I would like to say a few things about my first husband, William'. Then, on page 36, after having explicitly set us up with some visuals and vignettes, our narrator says "And in rather quick succession, two events happened to William. But let me mention just a few more things first." And so Lucy Barton, our narrator, keeps talking to us. The narrative voice is disarming, conversational, sometimes a little too familiar so that I thought "okay, Lucy! I know you're just telling me what you think things mean" - and that's part of her genius, too. You forget you're reading fiction, that it's not Lucy Barton just telling you her thoughts... and yet it is. No chapters. Lots of digressions and memories. Peopled with memorable characters (Mrs Nash pp 28-30). This isn't so much a review as it is a way to record a few of the things I loved about this book. #elizabethstrout #ohwilliam #lucybarton #bookrecommendation #narrativedesire #metafiction #narratology #narrators #writer
Da tanto volevo leggere qualcosa di Elizabeth Strout, sono anni penso… Qualche sera fa mi imbatto in questo suo libro, nemmeno leggo la trama e lo inizio. Inutile dirlo, l’ho divorato! ➡️Di cosa parla questo romanzo? Ci troviamo agli inizi del 2020, a New York sono stati riscontrati i primi casi isolati di Covid, epidemia sconosciuta e letale a quanto pare… 💃Lucy Barton convive con l’immenso vuoto lasciato dalla morte del suo amato David, secondo marito. 🙋♂️William, l’uomo che le aveva spezzato il cuore, nonché suo primo marito e padre delle sue due figlie, ha compreso da scienzato la catastrofe che si sta realizzando e decide di portare Lucy via con sè nel Maine. 🌆Inizia così la loro convivenza, del lockdown a noi ben noto… lo racconta in modo semplice sottolineando angoscia, paura e le emozioni che la pandemia ha portato con sé. Ho tanto ripensato alla mia vita in quelle giornate, le sensazioni… un romanzo che mi ha fatto tanto riflettere, un memoir consigliatissimo. ➡️E tu hai già letto qualcosa dell’autrice?

Sono sorpresa di essere comunque riuscita ad amare. Nella tua situazione, Lucy, molti nemmeno ci provano. Ma allora che cosa c'era in me che William chiamava gioia di vivere? Era gioia di vivere. Chissà perché? #labibliogatta #ohwilliam #elizabethstrout #book #einaudieditore #americanliterature

I’m a bit late with my wrap-up for April as I was on holiday last week. I’ve also included the ebooks and audio books that I consumed which are not shown in the picture. Stars are out of ten and anything with an * was an ad pr product via a publisher. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout - a collection of short stories all connected by the character of Olive Kitteridge. I’m reading in advance of the new Strout book coming out later this year. The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare - a complete farce but the best of his comedies that we’ve read so far as part of the @theupstartcrows2023 readalong. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the Blink of an Eye by Jo Callaghan - a real page turner with an AI and human detective working together. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fourteen Days by a collection of authors including Maragret Atwood and Dave Eggers. For me the format just didn’t work, and I’m not really into pandemic books, but I did enjoy Dave Eggers story. * Politics on the Edge by Rory Stewart- listened to this and it is narrated by the author. Lots of interesting insights into Westminster politics, helped me to understand why nothing ever really improves with Ministers changing roles all the time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crisis by Frank Gardner - enjoyabe enough special agent thriller but nothing very orginal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas - I’m really glad that I did read book two in this series to see how the plot developed. For me the pace is glacial for most of the book but the ‘blood for blood’ mentality was what has really put me off this author. Though I loved all the memes and the readalong chats. Have you read any of these, what were your views on them? #olivekitteridge #elizabethstrout #fourteendays #intheblinkofaneye #jocallaghan #acomaf #politicsontheedge #rorystewart #thecomedyoferrors #BookwormsUnite #bookstagrammer #bookstack #shelfie #bookstagram #avidreadersunit #bookstagrammeruk #bookstagramuk #ukbookstagram #ukbookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #readersofig #reader #booklover #bookstasolidarity #bookworm #booksbooksbooks #booknerd
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout. I enjoyed reading this book a lot! And I liked it more than Olive, again. The characters, their daily lives with their issues. The sadness and the joy. Everything. . . #bookstagram #bookworm #elizabethstrout
🩵어디 두고 봐, 올리브는 생각했다. 사람들은 모두 자기가 뭐든 다 안다고 생각하는데 실은 개뿔도 모른다. p.470 올리브와 미래 어떨 날을 상상하자 갑자기 건배를 들고싶었다. (맛이 왜 별로지? 검색헤보니 헉, 이 와인 좀 비싼 거였네. 근데 아깝지가 않다) 우리는 인생의 매 단계마다 성장해야한다. 자라지 않고서는 버틸 수가 없다. #bluebirdwatch #bluebirdbooks🐦 #올리브키터리지 #elizabethstrout #우리집에어린이는없다

About a week ago (cue Bobby Shmurda) Fede and I went to lake como and because I am a Crazy Person ™️ I brought my book journal for pics. Enjoy!! Book 39 - Stealing the Troll’s Heart (Lyonne Riley - Trollkin Lovers #1) 🩵🩵🩵🩵 A troll and human are (literally) at each others throats as their species are at war, but despite their inability to communicate they can’t stop thinking about each other. This was a rec by @books_ergo_sum and @bubblybooknerdreads and it did not disappoint!!!! I loved it. Cute, easy to read, and very satisfying overall. It felt like I was reading a dnd game which is exactly the vibe I want my books to have. I was moving when I read it so I don’t think i appreciated it fully (my bad) but it got me back into monster romances so here we are lmao. Definitely gonna go back to the series when I am off my self-imposed book buying ban lol. Book 40 - Oh William! (Elizabeth Strout) 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 Wow a real change of pace here An older woman reflects on her life through the lens of one of her past marriages as she and her ex husband go on a trip together (fiction) Ok I LOVED this book. If you like sally rooney esque books I’d give this a chance. It was just so easy to believe in these characters and feel what they were going through and see what they were seeing. Ugh I loved it. I also want to return to this series once I’m over my book buying ban.

„Poszedł do lekarza, którego znał od lat. Doktor przyczepił do nagiej klatki piersiowej metalowe krążki z podłączonymi drucikami. Serce Harmona nie wykazało żadnych oznak dolegliwości. Siedząc na wprost dużego drewnianego biurka, Harmon poinformował lekarza, iż nie jest wykluczone, że odejdzie od żony. Doktor odparł cicho: „Nie, nie, to niedobry pomysł”, ale tym, co Harmon miał na zawsze zapamiętać, była mowa jego ciała, nagły ruch, jakim przesunął teczki na biurku i cofnął się z krzesłem. Jakby wiedział o czymś, czego Harmon nie był świadom: że ludzkie żywoty zrastają się niczym kości i złamanie może się nie zagoić. Ale Harmanowi nie dało się nic powiedzieć. Nie da się nic powiedzieć komuś zarażonemu taką chorobą. Oczekiwał teraz – żyjąc w onirycznym świecie bujnego ciała Daisy Foster – dnia, o którym wiedział, że nadejdzie, dnia w którym zostawi Bonnie albo ona wrzuci go z domu, nie potrafił przewidzieć, czy nastąpi to pierwsze, czy to drugie, ale czekał jak Luke Bułeczka na operację na otwartym sercu, nie wiedząc, czy umrze na stole, czy przeżyje.” #oczytanydzik #oczytany #dzik #dzikopolecam #czytaj #czytam #olivekitteridge #elizabethstrout #weekendzksiążką #majówka #kochamksiążki #kochamczytać 📖🐗

#fivebooksoneauthor Amy @northerly_heart_reads tagged me to show five read books by five favourite authors. And I seem to have been a bit carried away by the idea. Yes I took out and put back 35 books. Round of applause please. 👏 It’s really interesting to look at which authors you do have five books of. I imagined it to be Kent Haruf (4) or Amy Bloom (4) …. But no, these were the 7 authors I had 5 or more books of. I had 12 of Anne Tyler (but I suspect you might be as tired of looking at them as I am of getting them out). My 7 authors were: ❤️ American writers Larry McMurtry Laurie Colwin Elizabeth Strout ❤️ Canadian writers Helen Humphreys Carol Shields ❤️ English writers Penelope Lively ❤️ Irish writers John Banville I had lots of crime writers - Elly Griffiths, Mick Herron, Benjamin Black and Adrian McKinty, but they can wait for another day. And don’t start me on the Classics. I think Amy is doing a classics version. For me, I’m resting on my laurels. Any of your favourite authors here? As always, join in if it appeals to you. 😊 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookworm #bibliophile #bookish #booklover #readersofinstagram #bookblogger #bookchallenges #johnbanville #larrymcmurtry #lauriecolwin #elizabethstrout #helenhumphreys #carolshields #penelopelively
2024 book #27 Lucy by the Sea by Elizabeth Strout 🫖 🫖 🫖 🫖 Another good read from Elizabeth Strout about her character Lucy Barton that includes cameos from characters from other stories including Bob Burgess (The Burgess Boys) and Olive Kitteridge. This is a novel set during the pandemic but about family, relationships. A very human story set during a difficult time and written in Strout’s sparse, less is more, style. I enjoyed this more than her previous novel Oh William! I’ve now read all of Elizabeth Strout’s books. My favourites are: - Olive Kitteridge - Olive, Again - Amy and Isabelle #bookstagram #books #booksofinstagram #reading #readingtime #readinglist #ilovebooks #ilovereading #happyreading #booksandtea #booksandchocolate #booksteachocolate #booktower #tea #cupofteaandagoodbook #cupoftea #lucybythesea #elizabethstrout

“It is a gift in this life that we do not know what awaits us.” Stunning, moving… In March 2020, Lucy’s ex-husband, William, insisted she leave New York with him for a few weeks and travel to a coastal house in Maine. Then the Covid pandemic strikes, and they find themselves trapped in a remote house, forced to confront their complex past. Lucy, like many of us, is consumed by memories and begins to question her life. Her daughters, too, are grappling with their own crises, and Lucy finds herself unable to console them. As if this wasn’t enough, the political and social tension in the country is at an all-time high. The Trump era and its polarization add to the pressure. Lucy is left to battle her demons while dealing with the public ones. Elizabeth Strout once again creates vivid characters and tells a beautiful story. I like her tone while discussing relationships and presenting events. She remains honest, non-judgmental, and respectful. Her effort to understand human nature without prejudice is impressive. She portrays the pandemic and anxiety stunningly. The characters from her previous book make a warm contribution to the story. What I find most admirable about Elizabeth Strout’s writing is her ability to infuse hope into her narratives. She is not a dreamy optimist; she is acutely aware of the turmoil and acknowledges the harsh realities. Yet, she manages to find a way to see the new opportunities that arise from these challenges, a testament to her resilience and optimism… #elizabethstrout #lucybythesea #book #novel
🌊 Il libro del mese di maggio è l’ultimo romanzo di Elizabeth Strout “Lucy davanti al mare”... lei è una delle autrici che seguiamo più volentieri, ormai le vogliamo proprio bene... 🌊 Siamo nel 2020 e la pandemia sta dilagando nelle città. La protagonista si ritira nel Maine con l’ex marito, una di quelle persone con cui pensi di aver esaurito ciò che c’era da dire...e invece, pur nella sua imperfezione, una relazione può salvarti la vita... Di questo romanzo parleremo nel Gruppo di Lettura di giugno 🌊 Buona lettura a tutti! #lucydavantialmare @einaudieditore #elizabethstrout #bookclub #luccasapiens #luccalegge
⏩️🔴📚Dopo aver amato alcuni romanzi, commentati anch’essi su questa pagina, che sono stati a mio avviso costruiti per tenere incollato il lettore alla storia, pagina dopo pagina, ho avuto modo di apprezzare l’approccio completamente diverso di Elizabeth Strout. In questo libro racconta della vita a Crosby, una piccola e tutto sommato anonima cittadina del Maine, e quindi dei suoi abitanti. Nel farlo, tuttavia, segue un flebile eppure marcato filo rosso che intreccia le storie di questi personaggi alla protagonista, Olive Kitteridge, insegnante in pensione che, in vario modo, ha avuto un ruolo nelle loro vite. Il romanzo sembra quasi una serie di racconti, o meglio di scene dipinte in cui, a volte più da vicino (la parentesi trascorsa da Olive presso la casa del figlio a New York, dove si era trasferito con la seconda moglie), altre in maniera sottile (le vicende delle sorelle Julie e Winnie, o della pianista del cocktail bar della loro città), qualche situazione o sentimento pennellato ci rivela di Olive. Un libro meno facile da seguire, che non ti incolla per forza e subito, ma non meno potente. Bella la centralità di questa donna in età avanzata – questa donna imponente, severa, decisa, profonda a cui “…sembra di non poter mai vincere” e a cui il marito Henry replica “Non puoi vincere, puoi solo fare del tuo meglio”. Una donna che pare a tratti volersi arrendere e che invece nonostante tutto va avanti, con un finale che regala uno spiraglio di riscatto forse inatteso, chissà se desiderato fino in fondo. Non sorprende che ne sia stata tratta una miniserie HBO. 📚🔴⏪️ Grazie a @gothoutorome per avermi portato in questo mondo. #librichepassione #librimania #ioleggo #leggendo #leggeresempre #leggerefabene #prossimolibro #igbookclub #igbookstagram #lettoridiinstagram #lettoricompulsivi #romanzo #romanzi #libro #libri #librodelgiorno #libridaleggere #libriconsigliati #bookgram #book #books #booklover #lettura #letture #lettureconsigliate #diversoinverso #olivekitteridge #elizabethstrout #fazieditore
»Welche Gnade, dass wir nicht wissen, was uns im Leben erwartet.« Elizabeth Strout setzt die Geschichte von Lucy Barton fort, ihrer feinsinnigen Heldin, die nicht immer den Härten des Lebens verschont blieb. Mit ihrem Ex-Mann William sucht sie während des Lockdowns Zuflucht in Maine, in einem alten Haus am Meer. Eine unvergessliche Geschichte über Familie und Freundschaft, die Zerbrechlichkeit unserer Existenz und die Hoffnung, die uns am Leben erhält, selbst wenn die Welt aus den Fugen gerät. 📸 Foto: “Am Meer” - Elizabeth Strout; @luchterhand_verlag #elizabethstrout #ammeer #luchterhandverlag #autorinnenleben #bookstagramde

📖📖 Double Book Review! 📖📖 🍁 Olive Kitteridege and Olive, Again by Elizabeth Strout 🍁 I picked these books up on a whim - a kind of long funny story, but my grandmother, Olive, who was a flight attendant, was always a big supporter of me getting over my fear of flying. After she passed away in 2019, she has found some way to “show up” when I travel, almost always through her name - streets, restaurants, etc. The day before I left for vacation in February, I visited @shermansofmaine, unsure of what book I wanted to bring with me on the plane, and of course there these were. 😁 She always finds a way. ❤️ Olive Kitteridge - 4 ⭐️ I had a hard time getting into this first one, mostly because I just didn’t understand the flow of the story. Each chapter of the book focuses on new characters, with Olive being the constant. For much of the first half, I waited for them all to come together, and often found myself flipping to pages before trying to figure out who was who and if I’d already been introduced to a character. But as the book went on, I figured out the layout of the story and was able to appreciate that the book was about Olive, and the others were the building blocks of her story. Once I got there, I was able to appreciate the book more, and learn to love Olive and her quirky ways. Olive, Again - 5 ⭐️ Picking up the sequel to Olive Kitteridge, I had no problem at all getting into the story. While some of the chapters focused on single-appearance characters like the first book, overall I felt the second book had more of a story to it, and more character development within multiple characters than the first one. I absolutely loved Olive, Again, and would recommend both books to anyone looking for a quirky story about a cranky lady who you’ll learn to love ❤️ 📖 Author - Elizabeth Strout 📖 Publish Years - Olive Kitteridge - 2008, Olive, Again - 2019 📖 Format - Hard copy

Keď už neviem, čo by som od radosti čítala (hej, mám hory neprečítaných kníh, ale niekedy je to množstvo tak šokujúco odradzujúce, že sa mi do toho ani nechce púšťať😅), moja obľúbená Elizabeth Strout ke vždy stávka na istotu. Tentoraz som s ňou rozbehla prvú časť tetralógie - Volám sa Lucy Bartonová -, ktorá sa zaoberá najmä zložitým vzťahom medzi matkou a dospelou dcérou. Lucy je kvôli vážnej chorobe pripútaná na nemocničné lôžko a jej matka jej príde robiť spoločnosť, keďže jej muž sa musí postarať o ich deti. Matka jej rozpráva, čo je nové v ich rodnom mestečku a čo nové majú jeho obyvatelia, pričom sa Lucy v spomienkach vracia do minulosti a odhaľuje, čo ju priviedlo do veľkomesta a aj komplikované rodinné vzťahy a bolestnú minulosť, od ktorej utiekla.

Novità in Biblioteca!📚 "Lucy davanti al mare" di Elizabeth Strout📌 È l'inizio del 2020 e in città giunge notizia di un nuovo virus potenzialmente letale. A New York i casi sono ancora sporadici e la gente, la scrittrice Lucy Barton fra loro, si aggrappa alla vita di sempre. Ma non William. William, il primo marito di Lucy, è un uomo di scienza, e la intuisce da subito, la catastrofe che sembra spazzar via la vita conosciuta; la grande paura che annienta le certezze e scuote le relazioni. Anche quella antica di due vecchi coniugi che credevano di aver esaurito le sorprese. Ancora una volta tocca far appello all'amore, alle sue forme strane e imperfette, per far sì che il comune dolore anziché allontanare unisca. Per salvarsi la vita.🌎 a scrittrice Lucy Barton non ha mai cancellato un tour promozionale in vita sua. Eppure, quasi senza saperne la ragione, quel tour in Europa, previsto per i primi mesi del 2020, l’ha disdetto. «Meno male che non sei andata in Italia, – le diranno poi, – là c’è il virus». È William, lo scienziato William, il primo marito di Lucy, da poco reduce dal fallimento del suo terzo matrimonio e dal rifiuto di una sorellastra che non lo vuole incontrare, a passare all’azione per primo: Lucy ha poche ore per preparare un bagaglio essenziale, chiudere casa e partire con lui alla volta di una casetta in affitto sulle coste del Maine. Anche le loro figlie, Chrissy e Becka, e i rispettivi mariti dovranno raggiungere luoghi più protetti. L’imperativo per tutti, nei piani di William, è lasciare la città, con il suo brulicare di vita e pericoli, e mettersi al riparo. Pur incredula e sgomenta, Lucy accetta di seguire l’ex marito a Crosby, Maine. Per loro inizia così la routine interminabile di una quotidianità dilatata nella ripetizione di piccoli gesti sempre uguali a se stessi che la pandemia ha caricato di senso; una routine ammanettata all’assenza di vita.🌊 Ti aspettiamo!📖 #biblioteca #bibliotecaantonelliana #bibliotecasenigallia #novitàdelmese #novitàinbiblioteca #feelsenigallia #elizabethstrout #lucydavantialmare #einaudieditore #gialli

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ❗️혼자서.. 아니 @pksun9211늘 내게 영감을 주는 박 작가가 함께 하였기에 세 번째로 완독할 수 있었던 영어원서와 번역본(리딩드리 북클럽 선정)❗️ 📚 이 소설은 모녀의 이야기이다. 이미 소설가가 된 작가(루시)의 시점으로 이야기가 시작된다. 딸 루시 바턴은 맹장염으로 뉴욕의 병원에 입원해 있을 당시 연락이 끊겼던 엄마와 재회를 하면서 나누는 이야기가 소설의 전반적인 흐름이다. 5일 동안 모녀의 대화에서 루시는 마음속 깊은 곳에 무겁게 가라앉아 있었던 어린 시절의 기억을 표면 위로 불러오는데, 앰개시라는 작은 시골 마을에서 있었던 가난한 어린 시절 그리고 그 이후 고향을 떠나 대학 생활을 하면서 겪었던 혼란과 상처, 계층 간의 차이(사회적 문제) 그리고 극 중에서 작가로 등장하는 사라페인과의 만남에서 소설가로서 느끼는 루시의 고민을 살펴볼 수 있다. 그리고 그 과정에서 루시는 서서히 깨닫는다. 그러한 기억들이 어떻게 자신을 현재의 그녀로, 소설가로 만들었는지를. 🎭캐릭터 🔸️루시 : 견디기 힘든 삶의 여건에서 묵묵히 자기 길을 가서 원하는 것을 이룬 사람. 아름답고 진짜인 세계에 대한 동경이 있는, 빛나고 매력적인 사람. 🔸️루시의 엄마 : 무뚝뚝하고 감정을 드러내지 않음. 🔸️사라 페인 : 소설가로서 고민하는 루시에게 루시가 듣고 싶어 하던 얘기를 계속해 줌. 루시와 사라 페인은 서로의 감정을 알아보고 묘한 공명을 하게 됨. 💭 이 소설은 특별한 사건도 없고 반전도 없으며 평범한 일상의 이야기를 들려주는 것 같아서 소설 그 자체 분위기가 자연스러웠다. 자극적인 스토리에 익숙해져서인지 이 글을 읽는 내내 엄청난 감동을 받거나 글을 읽는 몰입감은 없었지만 우리의 인생도 매일 드라마틱 하게 사는 건 아니기에... 그 여백을 나만의 주관과 감정으로 채워보려는 나름의 시도를 해볼 수 있어 좋았다. 루시는 작가로서 안정적이고 평안한 삶을 살아가고 있지만 나이가 들어갈수록 그녀의 생에 불쑥불쑥 나타나 그녀의 발목을 붙잡는 것이 마음에 남아있는 것처럼... 누구에게나 해결되지 않은 감정들은 사라지지 않고 고스란히 우리들 마음 한구석에 남겨지게 되는 것 같다. #내이름은루시바턴 #elizabethstrout @readingdrey_audrey
"It hurt my heart with a heaviness as though a damp and dirty dishcloth lay across it." Elizabeth Strout did it again! Brilliant story telling! Ms. Strout adeptly delved into the subject of Covid in her story, showcasing her writing and story telling prowess. She exactly knew how to examine the pandemic through the lenses of her protagonist, Lucy Barton - the anxiety, confusion, and the fear people had when the virus erupted and Lucy experiencing the same making me as a reader recall the same experiences that I had during the lockdown. Furthermore, I believed Ms. Strout wanted to show that when a dismal time like this occurs, human spirit and greater sense of community still transcend over the chaos and tragedy. I also love the interweaving stories of Bob Burgess and Olive Kitteridge, having a cameo in Lucy Barton's narrative. Surely, the fans of Ms. Strout are happy about this. That being said, numerous striking and breathtaking prose and quotes have been delivered, evoking deep introspection and reaffirming why Ms. Strout remains my favorite writer. Overall, another book added to my fave list! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #lucybythesea #elizabethstrout #bookstagram #books #bookreview
🖋️ Элизабет Страут 📖 И снова Оливия ⠀ Вторая книга о непревзойденной Оливии Киттеридж, и снова стопроцентное попадание и наслаждение произведением. ⠀ По форме, как и в первой части, книга - сборник рассказов об Оливии и людях, с которыми она соприкоснулась по жизни. ⠀ Невероятно-жизненные истории, за которыми как бы подглядываешь со стороны. Местами грустно, где-то забавно и очень реалистично. ⠀ Склад ума Оливии, ее суждения о мире, окружающих - очень любопытны: порой она резка, откровенна, навязчива, прямолинейна. Многим подобные люди не по душе. Но ее сострадание к людям, в скоупе с отзывчивостью предают ей особый шарм. ⠀ В этой книге Оливия уже на закате своих дней, понимание окружающего мира порой ускользает от нее, и это ее значительно пугает. Она стареет, и даже со всей ее самоиронией, ей страшно, что ждет дальше. ⠀ Эта книга об одиночестве человека. Будучи даже окруженными людьми, порой мы понимаем, что этого недостаточно. Мы приходим в этот мир одинокими внутри. ⠀ Для любителей жизненных историй - однозначно рекомендую к прочтению. ⠀ Какую книгу прочитали последней? 💙
